We have literally no time to sit down and ask ourselves whether so-and-so is our neighbor or not. We must get into action and obey -- we must behave like a neighbor to him. But perhaps this shocks you. Perhaps you still think you ought to think out beforehand and know what you ought to do. To that, there is only one answer. You can only know and think about it by actually doing it. It is no use asking questions; for it is only through obedience that you come to learn the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45182]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what you get from reading the fine print.
